Outlook Macro not executing
- by Tim
Hello all,
we are using an an outlook macro for incoming emails to unzip the attachments, log them in sql server and copy them to a special working folder where a windows service processes them.
The problems are:
the user must be logged in at the
server otherwise the macro wont run.
I think there is no workaround for
this.
whenever a modal dialog pops up in outlook and waits for
user input, the macro wont execute either (f.e.
AutoArchive) I have stopped
AutoArchiving all x-days in the
options. Because its a productive
environment, are there other
possible windows preventing the
macro to execute, which i must
disable now?
Our outlook-macro solution surely is not
the best because of above problems. Are there better alternatives to read emails, unzip attachments and move them to a working folder? My language is VB.Net and server OS is windows 2008.
Regards,
Tim
